I build open-source, privacy-focused apps for anyone whose data is not for sale. I use AI tools to write the code, but do not include surveillance or invasive permissions. My apps are designed to work across platforms, making the switch to Linux phones easier when they're more available. (I'm a beginner in this, learning as I go. I'll start with publishing Flutter apps on Codeberg and Zapstore.)

Last Notes npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth So many Nostriches are Canadian! 🇨🇦 npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth About 200 seems to be right for me so far - enough to have something to read and keep up with what they share, not so much it's overwhelming. But if I didn't try to keep up or had different interests, I might follow more. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Heartbreaking, but true. Nowhere else is it so normal to be murdered, and so brutally. Should be the safest place on earth for a little one. #nevent1q…3x6z npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I started with using Claude Sonnet 4.5 in the browser, asking it how to get set up and copying manually to files on my computer, first with an Anthropic account, then with @nprofile…8ren, after Anthropic closed my account. It worked, and I learned a lot, but it was expensive. I set up VS Codium on my computer, and now I have an extension called Cline that lets me use Claude through an API from PayPerQ. The context window for how much it can remember at once has limits, but it works quite well and has some handy features. It's also way cheaper to use. I'm building with Flutter so the apps can be on different devices, but you can go with Kotlin or whatever fits your vision. Maple AI also is handy - sometimes I have a chat going there for helping me figure something out. Deciding on what approach to take to building, strategizing, finding names, etc. I recommend researching the options a bit for how to approach what you're building, rather than just going with the first option the AI suggests. If you know where you want to take it, it's easier to get it there. Sometimes the option it highly recommends doesn't match your goals, and when you dig deeper, it turns out your thinking is better. Build on whatever strengths you have - for me, I was starting with good knowledge of databases and the workings of what I needed my apps to do. I worked on the parts I didn't know quite so well first, because I knew what I could and couldn't make the backend support. I watched a few videos to start, explaining how the different aspects of software work together so it's easier to build intentionally. Each step is a bunch of learning, figuring out how to set up a repository and where, deciding which license to use, learning to use git, etc. If you like Linux and Bitcoin, you'll enjoy it! I don't know what you're building, but I'd love to hear how it goes and help fill in the gaps if I can! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth For now. Gold is known - Bitcoin is still very new. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Well said. We're so used to an "equal and opposite forces" idea, and we get so confused with stuff around us, we slip into seeing it as a tug of war between God and Satan, an equal match between good and evil. But it isn't anywhere close to true. They are not peers. There is no comparison. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth The challenge is harder when you're expecting the same result as somewhere else. Praying for you both! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Mustang. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I'm guessing Alabama has better laws, but I much prefer Canada's weather. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I'm working on my second one. Reusing the basic structure from the first. This one's much simpler, so it's going quickly. So strange to be able to do this! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Welcome! Explore, comment, when you find people you really appreciate, check out ones they follow. You are your own algorithm, so you get to build your feed and discover great ones along the way. I've seen @nprofile…xupq and @nprofile…62k0 intentionally get people sharing less well-known ones they appreciate - looking through those is great. And there are follow packs with people listed for different interests, and hashtags help search by topic. If you're friendly and willing to see what you have to offer, I think you'll find it a great place to be! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Haha! Even Bitcoin ladies like flowers, I guess! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I just ran a software installer that required me to accept the terms of the MIT License. Made me laugh. If I can't agree to those terms... I can't imagine any I would! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Even worse! 😉 npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth And feed the Matrix? npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I'm a brand-new developer, publishing on Codeberg and Zapstore, so far. I haven't figured on ngit yet, but I'll hopefully get there. I don't see the point in building FOSS on GitHub, except that it's what everyone's known. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Sounds a little too close to Abaddon. I guess that means I should HODL instead! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I'd rather have the cold any day! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth KJV has those verses. I never liked seeing them removed. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth @nprofile…tdq0 🙂 npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Feeling slightly silly - I'm having trouble installing zsp. Says it needs go installed, so I tried "sudo apt install golang-go". But it said zap requires a newer go version, so I removed the apt version and installed the snap version. Then it seems to be struggling with an incorrect file path. I can find the file, at a slightly different path, but it doesn't seem to do anything if I try to execute it, and "zsp publish --wizard" just says the command zsp is not found, so I don't think it's successfully installed. Downloading the release file didn't get me any further. I guess I'm still a newbie... I can keep trying things, but thought I'd let you know. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Makes me want to put down my phone and read a book, the good old-fashioned way. There's so much value in what is real. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I don't get the sudden need to add it to everything. My everyday life was okay without it, and I like it that way. Using it to create apps I couldn't build before, so more people can use more private apps and devices, building on other areas of expertise I do have... That's where I'm finding it helpful. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Well done! I've been hoping it would be ready when I'm ready to publish my app for the first time! Increased my daily zap limit for this one! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth We're still early. Gold and silver are well-known to many people who still know nothing about Bitcoin. I'm no expert analyst, but it makes sense to me that the Bitcoiners are saving up first, then the rest of the world in the way they know, and they'll catch on later when they learn more. It would be cool to be able to measure self-custody of these three (not that I think we should) and see how that adds up. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth It's a rather fancy contact database, meant to handle sensitive/confidential data safely. https://codeberg.org/Grace-and-Truth/Connections I had originally pictured letting users choose a cloud storage folder they're comfortable with, and storing the app data there so multiple devices could use the same data. But that's frowned upon because of all kinds of sync issues. I'm curious to see what you come up with! For now I'm aiming for Android, but the code is written for any platform, so hopefully it will end up on iOS, etc. too. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I'm using Cline for now. Not a big fan of giving it terminal access. That lets it see more than I want it to. But it's nice that it can see my files and make changes. I'm glad I did the bulk of the building "manually". I wanted to understand what was happening and learn how it worked. Now I'm glad to finish off the tweaks for the first real release without running out of funds and time. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Incredible. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Very interested to see how it goes. I'm building an app that will store data on the user's device, but I've got my eyes open for a good way to sync data between a few devices. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Trying this out... It's much cheaper! It doesn't blow through my payments nearly as quickly. I'm glad I did all that copying and pasting first, so I would understand more of what's happening. I learned a lot. Now this means I can afford to finish it up! #nevent1q…90wc npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Looking forward! Is the new publishing app Zapstore Alpha, or a separate project? npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth @nprofile…wgfc npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth The People protected in the 4th Amendment are Americans, no? The laws that followed spoke of aliens. Are foreigners without the right to be in the country intented to have all the same protections? Obviously, the searches shouldn't violate the Constitution. Agreed. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I read her later book, Tramp for the Lord, one chapter at a time whenever I needed my perspective set right. Her stories were amazing. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I'd probably make it and something else you know people will like. Then they can try it without it being the only option. If you have little kids coming, some like trying things, others like what's familiar. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Needing to hear this. Lots landing on me at once! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Interesting. Maybe it's something I can incorporate in mine. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Shakespeare doesn't build native apps - I would have used it if it did. I used @nprofile…8ren with Claude Sonnet 4.5 in my browser, copying the code into VS Codium on my computer, doing research to choose my approach and asking questions along the way. It gets expensive, but works well. I like the big context window, the memory for seeing the whole project at once. Anthropic closed my account and doesn't have anonymous payments. I did a little bit with Maple AI too - hopefully it becomes easier to use for this with more file-sharing flexibility. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I like GrapheneOS way better than Android. The right apps make a big difference. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth If you know that already, sure. In an emergency when nobody knows how to verify it's real, cash still would be more recognizable, easier to trade with, and less of a way to stand out. A lot depends on those relationships you've already built. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth https://codeberg.org/Grace-and-Truth/Connections/releases 🎉 I've published the first beta release of the new CRM/contact app I've been building! 🎉 💃 It's ready for anyone who's interested to download (on Android) and try out. There are some width errors and things, but enough of the features are there and working to see whether you like it! I've picked up ideas from different places, but I don't know of any mobile app like it. I dove deep into designing parts I know well, and can add more features for other specialized uses over time. Thank you all for inspiring me! It'll be a few more versions before I put it on @nprofile…tdq0, and I'm excited about their Alpha version. Thanks to @nprofile…8ren for making the AI model available, and to @nprofile…rt0k and @nprofile…2d0r for sharing about projects and getting my wheels turning. #vibecoding #crm #letsbuild npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I've appreciated @nprofile…xupq's encouragments that it's the less-known accounts that show more interaction. I still have a "feed", but with fewer accounts with tons of followers and more smaller ones. Those with the most followers aren't going to be interacting with them all. They're good for getting news out, and a good starting point to see what's happening when you join. But going in the comments, finding ones you respect and want to hear from more often, you can build a good list and start to see who people are and what you uniquely have to offer. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth The middle can be the hardest part of a project. My dad taught me not to make a list of tasks until a project is almost finished and you don't want to forget the last few details. (Don't do the math on how many thousand screws you have to put in the deck boards - just start!) As a girl, I would keep going in anything until I knew I was well past a halfway point before stepping back to measure progress, so I wouldn't get stuck. I started my project with an overview document outlining the features I wanted in my new app. I could make notes of the next few steps I didn't want to forget or anything else I needed. Now I'm officially at the "make a list" stage, working through my sticky note of things to finish before polishing up the app for real users. I'm sure there will be more I don't see yet, but I'm nearing the goal of version 1.0.0! Most of the features I want in the first release are built - now it's testing and filling in the missing details! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Prayer, rejoicing, resisting, giving, obeying, praising, enduring... For wrestling against flesh and blood? Archery, I suppose. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth #FOSS vs. #FLOSS... Choosing an open-source software #license was a little trickier than I expected. Some explanations encouraged #copyleft licenses, to make sure the software will always be free. Sounded like a good idea - when given a bunch of options, I tend to choose the most thorough route by default. #Linux has a #GPL license, and clearly made an impact. The #AGPL covers all the bases. But it's quite long, and strangely authoritarian, imposing a lot of rules in the name of making the software free. It wasn't what I was expecting to find in an open-source license. Then I found a video of Linus Torvalds actually arguing against GPL v3. He used v2 for Linux, not "v2 or later", and didn't think v3 should have been considered the same licence. The #MIT license is wonderfully short, just a few readable paragraphs. I'd have gladly chosen it, except that it doesn't explicitly cover patents. I landed on the #Apache licence (v2). It seemed the best fit for my project, to let people use it as freely as they like, and didn't impose anything arduous. I would've been happy to guarantee users the right to the code no matter who builds what with it, but I want people to be able to use my ideas without having to choose the same license for everything they touch, and without jumping through hoops. Maybe it's odd to say permissive licenses are freer than strong copyleft - I don't know. It just seems more free if people can use it easily without red tape, whoever they are, for whatever they like. If this is part of the difference between FOSS and this new term "FLOSS", I'm happy with the former. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Voice dictation in the command line! What will they think of next? npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth When I start feeling black-pilled when I check Nostr, I figure out who to unfollow (often to follow again when times change). You know, the feeling that the walls in every country in the world are closing in on us, and we just hope we can outrun the corruption long enough to live our lives. I get scared too. But I'm always looking to point people to hope. It's the value of an algorithm we control - I can choose whose notes I see, mute npubs I really would like to never see again, and mute words that don't need to be part of my day. I'm not complaining or rebuking anyone, only expressing that balance between awareness and sanity, and the importance of knowing truth without losing joy. Thanks to all who bring a wholesome, productive, cheerful contrast to the important news we know we also need. It helps us be aware and still enjoy the life we've been given. @nprofile…xupq mentioned helping each other find new follows... I'll mention a few who brighten my day: @nprofile…wgfc, @nprofile…jen4, @nprofile…ka2t, @nprofile…5328, @nprofile…yxll (even if it's only a bot), @nprofile…eylv, @nprofile…9qzx, @nprofile…quv5. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I was amazed the first time I heard Microsoft owns it... the vast majority of open-source code is hosted on a platform under the control of a corporation that embodies the opposite. The switch would be harder for devs with a long history there, working on each other's projects, I'm sure. I just had an old account as a user who wanted to report an issue once in a while. So I didn't mind starting fresh on a platform with better ownership, with a new account to match my Nostr profile. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Neither was I! I was thinking of self-hosting with Forgejo, and I still might as an alternative, so Codeberg makes sense. It's a German non-profit hosting Forgejo for open-source software. I didn't want GitHub, GitLab didn't seem like the answer either. As a user for a day so far, I'm happy with it! Haha. A few apps I've used are on it, which is cool. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth A different kind of progress today... I added a description to my Nostr profile, set up a Codeberg account, created keys for signing releases, set up my first repository online, chose an open-source license, configured git, and uploaded my code!!! There's still plenty of building to do before it's ready for real users, but now it's officially visible to anyone interested. Being on Nostr spurs me on, hanging around so many builders! Thanks to @nprofile…2d0r for the #vibecoding video walkthrough, @nprofile…rt0k, @nprofile…wr42, @nprofile…gn8w, and @nprofile…8f86 for their inspiration, and @nprofile…8ren for making Claude available. I've enjoyed this journey (from learning to check GPG signatures to signing with them), each step building on the last: #Bitcoin > #Linux > #GrapheneOS > #Nostr > #MyOwnApps! codeberg.org/Grace-and-Truth/Connections npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth The combination of these two posts in my feed, reading yours first, cracked me up! https://blossom.primal.net/608bcf29934b593723277272b276bb905551c5c522bb2f1c78141aa1ae37b146.png npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Just wow. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Making progress on my first app project. Yesterday I got imports from the first file format working, and sent info to a few friends likely to want to use my app once it's ready. Any opinions on #Codeberg vs. Self-hosted #Forgejo on a Raspberry Pi, for #Git hosting? I'm thinking Codeberg, maybe both. Then @Zapstore, from there! I've got version 0.3.0 on my phone... Intending 1.0.0 to be the first completed build. #asknostr npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth It's bizarre! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth The only trouble I've had with webcams was on Windows. I guess I could try on Linux. I tested that the hardware worked before installing distros, and most often it all did. I like KDE, but Mint was the most reliable for what the others still found tricky (playing DVDs, letting me access system files). npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Rarely - maybe 5%, if that. Maybe I'm not zapping as many new people. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I'm glad to hear it - I'm using Flutter too. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Zeus does everything, from what I understand. Bull Wallet has auto swaps to onchain, and can work with airgapped hardware wallets. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Bull wallet is in beta, not a true lightning wallet, but an excellent option. Lightning payments take a little longer because of the swaps. Wallet of Satoshi now has a self-custody option. Zeus is a bit intense but does a lot, if you don't mind the name. Minibits is the one I've had success with for Nostr zaps, but its a cashu wallet. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Project idea for anyone interested... Is there a good app yet for "friend streaks"? Duolingo pushes streaks: - widget shows streak progress - friends can have streaks together, so you don't want to let each other down - friends can send "streak freezes" if you almost lose your streak - the longer your streak, the more streak freezes you can have to protect it I heard a girl say, "I don't even really like Duolingo - I just do it to keep my streak." And I've done that too. There are good habit-tracking apps, such as Loop Habits, but what if those motivational features (streaks + friends) could be used for anything? Some examples... - group fitness challenges, like #31days - 2 friends encouraging each other in the same activity - accountability for breaking addictions (streak shared with friends who aren't sharing the same habit) - friends encouraging each other in separate activities - non-daily activities (play music with my kids twice a week) - household chore tracking within families I'm focusing on offline apps, not ones with users connecting online, but maybe #nostr is a good base for this? The interaction between users would be fairly minimal, similar to Lichess or Duolingo - sending challenges, checking in, but not a full-fledged chat app. Users could login with a nostr signer. #asknostr #vibecoding npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I'm using VS Code on Kubuntu, with no issues like that. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I don't mind there being a place for us. Sometimes it's nice for it not to be strange to value these things. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I'd freeze the leftover comfrey, and put it on bruises, any time you want something cold. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth It's what I chose - nice to see others like it! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Project update: I've created my first APK file and installed my new Android app on my phone!!! There's plenty more to do to make the functions all work and connect the database, but trying it on a phone instantly shows some adjustments to make. For a first try, it works pretty well! I haven't decided what GitHub alternative to use yet, but I look forward to publishing on @nprofile…tdq0 when I'm ready. Thanks to @nprofile…8ren for making Claude available beyond Anthropic's accounts! #vibecoding #gitvianostr npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth It's never been about a majority. Small groups of people standing on truth are powerful. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I want to ask where in AB you are, but don't want you to share more than you'd like to publicly. You're welcome to DM me if you like. I have some friends there. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth You're not alone. Depending on who you have around you, it's hard to see there are others. Strengthening your little core community is very important - not flashy, but worthwhile! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Didn't work. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I'm sorry to see it's controversial. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I imagine secret repos can be easily made public, so you can start using git for backups before the project's ready for real use? I'm exploring git options, not very interested in using Microsoft's GitHub. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth So grateful for our King, willing to be born into our mess and set us free. He is worthy! https://blossom.primal.net/3148e7a75c7dd8f989ba4ee8a5d1cf9c49b89fd3eff7b86c06ceecb951fa288a.jpg npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Nice! I've set some users up on Zapstore who don't necessarily know anything about Nostr - it works well for them too. Maybe some line about what Nostr is would help, in app info or this note. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Thanks - I'll check into it. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Bless you! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth @nprofile…u4p9 to the rescue. With Claude taken away, at least for now, I'm continuing my project with Maple's coding model. It's not as good, particularly in terms of ability to share the existing codebase or see a lot at once, so it introduces more errors. It processes more slowly, and it's not as conversational - it's quick to start writing code before it has enough context. But it's good enough to build on the foundation I had, and let me continue making progress. I like the privacy, and the reduced likelihood of my account being deleted for unknown reasons. If I get Claude back, I'll use it to clean up what I'm building now and get it back on track. But if I don't, I think with some experienced human input, Maple just might be enough to get me there. Good work, Maple team! #vibecoding #MapleAI npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Right. That's what I was finding too. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Thank you for your help! I'm working on a native app, not just a web one, so I thought it wouldn't do it, but I'll try! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth The network effect works for protocols, tools of communication, like telephone, fax, internet, email, VoIP, Nostr, even languages themselves. It's a sneaky mistake to put a platform like Facebook in that category. It can be and is used for communication, but it's a service provided and controlled by a single company. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Got my first major pause in my project - Claude/Anthropic closed my account and refunded my payment. I haven't heard back yet on why or if they might reconsider. So I don't have access to the chat history, except in my memory. Even if they don't reinstate it, I'm off to an excellent start. I'm understanding more and more as I go, and would love to be working with something more private. @nprofile…u4p9 has some coding models, just with much less ability to look at the overall project at once. I have HTML UI mockups of the screens I want and a robust architecture started in Flutter, using VS Code. Next is connecting in and building a #SQLite database to support it all. My understanding is #Shakespeare is for building website, not apps. If anyone has wisdom to share, I'm open! #vibecoding npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth You had quite a pace going! It doesn't have to be daily, but we enjoy what you share. I'm looking forward to a more sustainable workload next year too. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Yikes. Agreed! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I learned today Windows has an option to not let you "accidentally" hit the same key twice in a row. For users who never need to spell words with double letters, apparently. 🤷♀️ npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Thank you for sharing these! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth What were you used to before? npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Verse 7 always hits deep, for me. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I've got 2 defaults reserved for things that make me laugh, depending on the intensity/duration of the laughter! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I find BetterBird handy (fork of Thunderbird). npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I'm vibecoding my first app - going really well so far! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I agree, a repost is more than a zap. Not just through adding that one note to my history - it's putting someone else's name out there, suggesting that those who follow my account might like this other one too. It doesn't mean I'm responsible for or agree with everything the other person says, obviously. But it is a vote of confidence, a hand up in getting their message to more people. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Many of us customize our default set of zaps. Mine do show whether something made me laugh! If a note doesn't really fit my set of saved zaps, sometimes the heart "like" icon fits my reaction better. So I guess even the icon in my client influences which one I use. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Genuinely encouraging. Thank you. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Are you looking at ones you follow, or those who follow you? npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I like it. People don't understand what is and isn't censorship. Free speech doesn't mean everyone must be forced to listen - it means you're free to speak. Is there a way to make it so instead of being locked at 5 people, it's a percentage of the people you follow? Something annoying/spammy/inappropriate enough to be reported by 5 people out of 100 is a higher threshold than 5 people out of 5000. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Pretty decent hierarchy here - depends what you're looking for. https://blossom.primal.net/d2ac8475e89bdcbe21fd6fa1e979131b128e324d46569e2a7f9c9e3231c6715b.jpg npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Spending time on the internet pushes me to spend money. Spending time on Nostr pushes me to buy Bitcoin, and to build skills. Refreshing, healthy difference. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Long form in the client seems easier to figure out, more expected/intuitive, if the formatting options are there to do it nicely. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Maybe I will! I won't be able to start for at least a few weeks, though, so I'll check in first in case someone else has picked it up. There might be others excited to try #vibecoding a new #coinkite site! npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth I intend to soon. It's been a few full weeks. npub1adnnfrsjn7tlhqlkyptkgdpdv9958575gra3s2s7puzppkkrvzfqnhq9e6 Grace and Truth Add age limits, with this exception for those fit to serve longer. Age minus number of pullups (this kind, not the diapers) must be under 65.
